§ 411 Matters which need not be stated.

Prosecutors don't have to spell out every legal detail when they write up formal charges against someone. If the law already assumes something to be true, or if it's a fact so well known that courts automatically accept it without proof, that information doesn't need to be included in the charging document.

For example, courts automatically accept basic facts like the days of the week, the fact that certain dates fall on certain days, or well-established scientific facts. Prosecutors don't need to explain or prove these kinds of things in the indictment or information itself. The charging document can focus on the actual facts of the case instead of restating things that are already legally understood or accepted.

This keeps criminal charges simpler and shorter. It means the government doesn't waste time explaining background legal principles or common knowledge that everyone, including the court, already recognizes as true.
